✨ Template::Plugin::XML::File ✨

ok so bestie, this is a Template Toolkit plugin for XML files 💖 — it's Template::Plugin::XML::File from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and honestly? she's giving "the XML file just vibes in your template" and we're obsessed 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

so there's like... multiple ways to hand her an XML file name, and she does not judge, she accepts them all 🫶

# different want to specify an XML file name
[% USE xf = XML.File( filename ) %]
[% USE xf = XML.File( file     = filename ) %]
[% USE xf = XML.File( name     = filename ) %]
[% USE xf = XML.File( xml_file = filename ) %]

and if you're more of a file-handle girlie, she's got you too 💅

# different want to specify an XML file handle
[% USE xf = XML.File( handle ) %]
[% USE xf = XML.File( fh       = handle ) %]
[% USE xf = XML.File( handle   = handle ) %]
[% USE xf = XML.File( xml_fh   = handle ) %]

and then you can just... peek at what she's holding 👀

[% xf.type   %]   # 'name' or 'handle'
[% xf.name   %]   # filename (if defined)
[% xf.handle %]   # file handle (if defined)

like, xf.type tells you whether she's running on a 'name' or a 'handle', xf.name gives you the filename if defined, and xf.handle gives you the file handle if defined. slay. 🌟
